😐 The location of the restaurant is wonderful. The food is nice as well with various options for vegetarians. Reason for my 3 star review is the service. It was extremely slow. The restaurant was understaffed and only one person was running here and there. I think they were short on kitchen staff too... People often mention delicious, service,

    The location of the restaurant is wonderful. The food is nice as well with various options for vegetarians. Reason for my 3 star review is the service. It was extremely slow. The restaurant was understaffed and only one person was running here and there. I think they were short on kitchen staff too because my food took forever to arrive. I would say food was really delicious. I loved what I ordered however they really need to work on their service. When I asked my waitress if she can also take my food order along with drinks, she said -“no because she has several other tables.” It was bit rude and totally unexpected. I said , I’m starving and her response was -“it is what it is!” You will not expect such rudeness in a place

    Good taste for the value, friendly but slow service. I expected more from a place like fine dining. It's good to see a modern touch for Turkish cuisine.

    We had a very delicious brunch here! Pictures should speak a thousand words! I like the mosaic of Turkish cusine with Northern Europe touch. Personel was also very nice and kind. Only one humble suggestion would be to decrease the music to lower levels during brunch hours. I also felt a bit mismatch between the ambience of the place and the house/club style music.

    Nice variety of dishes over a 6 course dinner in 2 hours. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The background music was at low volume that made it easy to hold a conversation.

    Recommended place, delicious, pretty quick and clean. The presentation of the dishes are cool 👍🏻 tapas are really delicious but main dishes could be improved. Atmosphere takes a star as well but a side note for the tables outside; could be more fancy and comfortable. Thanks 🤞🏼

    Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunday evening. Congratulations on your amazing Turkish cuisine initiative that makes us proud in Amsterdam. Don't leave without trying Kadaif rolls and Cerkez Duck! A real Turkish cuisine experience.

    We went there for brunch and enjoyed the food. However, we were disappointed that even though on the menu the “sucuklu yumurta” was with simit, they didn’t have simit. Also, we were kind of disappointed with the attitude of the staff as we felt like we had to pay immediately and leave. This caused the staff to give us other table’s bill as well. Other than that, the atmosphere and the modern-Turkish touch to brunch food is very authentic! I hope the service can get better soon.

    Super cozy, friendly service, and a delicious omelette. I also got the Turkish sausage on the side. Great Bloody Mary as well! Definitely will be back!

    Nice place to have Middle Eastern/Levantine food. It is a bit pricey but the quality is good.

    Best pulled pork sandwich in Amsterdam, hands down! Reminded me of Texas BBQ pulled pork. The red velvet cake is absolutely delicious also. I’ve tried a lot of different red velvet cake’s in Amsterdam and Mems has become my favorite red velvet cake place. The croissants are great and the avocado, bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich is phenomenal. The bacon they use tastes similar to American bacon and they cook it just right.

    The food was good and the service was friendly. They portions were quite small for the price though and they were unflexibel making any changes to the food. They do have vegetarian, gluten free and one vegan choice.

    Just had to say it: - That was the best pulled pork sandwich i've ever consumed. - I think i just got high from my taste buds being overstimulated

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
